Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday.
Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Trump has already damaged the economy with his abysmal foreign policy and loyalty to special interests, but the worst is yet to come. Trump’s “Day of Liberation” will be remembered like Black Tuesday. He will own the destruction that follows.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Watching PBS and they’re interviewing a woman in Nebraska who voted for Trump and who’s been fired from her government job as a scientist. The “Why is this happening to me? I’m a white Christian!” vibes are through the roof.

If even Jeffrey Goldberg is saying "there's too much preemptive obeying for my taste" then the winds are indeed shifting.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.
